IntroductiontoDirectedEnergyWeapons DescriptionThis chapter provides a basic description of what directedenergy weapons(DEWs) are and how they work. In their Electronic Warfare publication theDepartment of Defense (DOD) defines a directedenergy weapon this way:DE is an umbrella term covering technologies that produce a beam ofconcentrated EM energy or atomic or subatomic particles.
It continues: A DE weapon is a system using DE primarily as a direct meansto damage or destroy adversary equipment, facilities, and personnel. DEwarfare is military action involving the use of DE weapons, devices, andcountermeasures to either cause direct damage or destruction of adversaryequipment, facilities, and personnel, or to determine, exploit, reduce, orprevent hostile use of the EMS through damage, destruction, anddisruption.
The two basic types of DEWs include lasers and microwaves. Microwavesand lasers are both part of the electromagnetic spectrum. Theyre made ofthe same electromagnetic energy which consists of light and radio waves.
This energy can be explained using either wavelength or frequency. Theshorter the wavelength of any energy field within the spectrum, thehigher its frequency is. Toward the low end of the spectrum, there arelowfrequency radio waves, which are thousands of kilometers long. And atthe other end of the spectrum are light waves, which can be a fraction ofan atom in size.
For ease of identification, groups of consecutive frequencies within thespectrum are divided into ranges. The frequencies within these ranges mayoverlap, which makes determining which range a frequency belongs inmore difficult. Because lasers have a shorter wavelength than microwaves,they vibrate at a higher frequency. Lasers and microwaves are merelydifferent aspects of the exact same energy. The only difference betweenthem is their frequency.
Another consideration is power. A highpowered microwave (HPM) andmicrowave oven both operate on the same frequency/wavelength. Theonly difference between them is the power level. Similarly, a laser penand a highpowered laser have the same frequency, but the power level ofa highpowered laser is much greater.
The concept of lasers, microwaves, and other types of DEWs using theexact same energy field, but at different frequencies, will help clarify howa single weapon can be used to exploit different frequencies of energy toproduce microwave, laser, and other effects. This feature makes themrheostatic (scalable or tunable).
Microwave weapons consist of basically two major technologies. First are

the millimeter wave devices which can be focused on a target at greatdistances and produce a burning sensation. An example of this is the ActiveDenial System (ADS). The second is the electromagnetic bomb (ebomb),which can destroy electronic circuitry, communications networks, and harmorganic matter at a distance, with a nonnuclear electromagnetic explosion(pulse).
Lasers consist of two basic groups. Lowenergy lasers which can be used todisrupt vision, and highpowered lasers which can be used on people andmaterial. So, both lasers and HPM can be used for counter personnel aswell as counter material purposes.
DEWs are subject to diffraction, which is basically the reduction of focusedpower caused by the dispersal of their energy in the atmosphere. Theshorter the wavelength, the less diffraction occurs.
Laser wavelengths are about 10,000 times smaller than microwaves.Therefore, they are more suitable for accuracy at long distances, becausethey diffract 10,000 times less. Diffraction can be used to the advantage ofthe operator. For instance, if a large area needed to be irradiated, highpowered microwaves could accomplish this, such as the ebomb.
DEWs offer the following capabilities:
They have pinpoint accuracy.They offer a low cost per use and maintenance.They have a virtually unlimited magazine capacity.They are simple to track, aim and shoot with sophisticated sensors.They are less lethal if tuned properly.They can operate in all weather conditions.They can engage multiple targets.They limit collateral damage.Their energy travels at the speed of light.Their energy can pass through walls at distances of hundreds ofmeters or even miles.They are silent and offer plausible deniability of their use.
In addition, they are scalable, which means a single weapon can beconfigured to produce a multitude of effects by adjusting its power orfrequency. Some include tiredness, dizziness, nausea, vomiting, abdominalpains, convulsions, epileptic seizures, and temporary paralysis.
Other effects include: vibration of internal organs, cooking of internalorgans, cataracts, burning sensations, controlled heating of the entire bodyto produce hyperthermia or fever, headaches, and a loss of shorttermmemory or cognitive processes. They can even be tuned to cause death bycardiac arrest or cancer. This energy can be transmitted accurately forlong distances (in some cases many miles). Some can pass through mostunshielded structures with little difficulty. And their use is virtuallyundetectable by casual observation.
These weapons are mounted on platforms, which have been described asphysical structures that are used to support or deliver the weapons. Aweapons platform can be a missile, aircraft, ship, vehicle, etc. Otherplatforms evidently exist, as described by the Journal of California LawEnforcement, which revealed in January of 2002 that not only can an HPMcan be built into a van, but highly portable suitcasesized weapons andones that resemble radios exist. Such weapons, the Journal tells us, offercovert qualities and the deniability of use.

Its no longer necessary to place a military force or an assassin near atarget due to the invention of these weapons. The advantage of directedenergy weapons over conventional ones is deniability, agreed Metz andKievit, which must be aimed at the American people, who do not sanctionthe imprisonment, much less execution, of individuals without a trial.
Tracking&FireControlMost directedenergy weapons require an acquisition, tracking, pointing,and fire control (ATP/FC) system. Much research on FTP/FC was done bythe Strategic Defense Initiative (SDI) for the SpaceBased Laser (SBL)program, which began in the mid 1980s and continues to this day.
ATP/FC systems allow a DEW to engage a large number of targets byplacing a directedenergy beam on the aimpoint of each target. There arebroad sensors which detect general activities, and refined sensors whichprovide a more accurate view of the target. These sensors are usually lowpowered infrared lasers which propagate well through the atmosphere.
Widearea (broad) sensors are used to detect certain activities, which arethen passed to the more refined sensors which may be linked by computerto a decisionmaking algorithm. Information is passed from the broadersensors to the more accurate ones in succession. All of these sensors maybe autonomous (selfdirecting).
Different sensors are used during the multiple phases, which includeacquisition, tracking, pointing, and fire control. For instance, for a missile,infrared sensors would detect the heat signature of the missile during theacquisition phase. Another sensor would determine its flight path duringthe tracking phase. In the pointing phase, yet another sensor would locatea specific point on the missile and fire an energy beam to that point.
Then during the fire control phase, the results of the hit are transmittedback to the FTP/FC unit for assessment. At this time a computer algorithmcontaining preprogrammed sets of instructions may determine the nextcourse of action based on the results. Then the next target is selected andthe process begins again. Some systems include a feature which allowsthem to prioritize targets.
In its 1984 directedenergy plan, the SDI included the development ofATP/FC systems for future directedenergy weapons, including the creationof systems to track a target at a range of up to 3,000 miles within adiameter of about 4 inches. Another was to create a computer algorithm tohandle the ATP/FC of at least 100 simultaneous targets at a rate of at leasttwo shots per second, and then conduct damage assessment on each one.
SummaryDirectedenergy weapons provide quick employment, deep clip capacity,scalability from lethal to nonlethal, simplified pointing and tracking, allweather capability, multiple target engagement, and long distanceprojection (tens of miles). They can also pass through walls without atrace. They provide surgical accuracy at the speed of light. They are alsosilent, and offer the military and law enforcement plausible deniability oftheir use.
